Soccer Odds: Chelsea Goes for Road Win Over Struggling Newcastle

The Premier League Champions Chelsea are set to renew their rivalry with Newcastle united on Saturday as they faceoff at St. James Park. Neither of the two teams made a good start to the league this season. However, Jose Mourinho’s boys have started to get back on track. After beating Arsenal in the EPL last weekend, albeit with controversies, the Blues rested most their first-team players during their midweek 4-1 Capital One victory over Walshall, only giving them a few minutes at the end of the game. The expectation now is that Chelsea’s players will come into this soccer betting clash against Newcastle well-rested in search of a win.

Meanwhile, the Magpies are yet to hit the right form and are coming off a disappointing midweek Capital One upset loss to Sheffield Wednesday, a game that ended 1-0 in favor of Sheffield. Logged at No. 19 in the EPL standings behind Chelsea who are logged at No. 15, the Magpies direly need to win this game if they are to turn around their season. With that, let’s take a look at this game, focusing on how to bet on the soccer lines and odds.

Entering this game, the Magpies are winless in the Premier League this season, and are sitting second-bottom in the League standings with just two points from their first six games. Head Coach Steve McClaren is currently under pressure to find a solution for the team, especially in the offense after posting four blanks in the league.

More worryingly, soon after they host Chelsea, they’ll be paying a visit to league leaders Manchester City, which suggests things could get worse for them before they get better.

Nevertheless, Aleksandar Mitrovic returns to the Magpies starting lineup after serving his three-match ban for his dismissal during the 1-0 defeat by the Gunners. His return will boost the offense as he could replace Papiss Cisse (back problem) and Manu Riviere (injury), who are both questionable for Saturday.

In the defense, Newcastle looks short of options on defensive flanks. On the left flank, Massadio Haidara could miss the game due to knee injury while Paul Dummett is also out. If right-back Daryl Janmaat is unable to recover on time from his midweek injury, it’s going to be tough for the Magpies to contain Chelsea that is very strong with the likes of Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas able to exploit the flanks.

Conversely, the Blues are riding on a three-game winning streak in all competitions, getting wins over Maccabi Tel Aviv, Arsenal and Walsall, respectively. Besides Diego Costa, who will serve the second game of his retrospective three-match ban for violent conduct in the Arsenal clash, Chelsea comes with a largely healthy squad. Radamel Falcao or Loic Remy is expected to fill the offensive void left by Costa. Pedro is also available again after coming off the bench to score against Walshall on Wednesday, while Willian remains a doubt, having picked up a hamstring strain against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

On the defensive line, the Blues have no injury concerns. John Terry and Gary Cahill collaborated well in the central defense against Walsall, but head Coach Jose Mourinho is likely to revert to Kurt Zouma as Cahill’s partner.

Newcastle vs. Chelsea Writers Prediction

The Magpies offense suffered a setback in midweek, as they could miss the services of Cisse, who has scored four league goals against Chelsea. So although the Blues defense has not been the best this season, I expect them to play better, playing well as the offense holds up decently to earn the Blues a 3-1 road victory.

Rollover Requirements:

MyBookie bonuses are very generous, and we use them to reward both our new and loyal clients. In order to prevent any type of abuse, bonus amounts are required to be rolled over X amount of times before a cash out can be requested. This is called a rollover requirement.

These "rollover requirements" simply mean how much you have to wager before requesting a payout. You do not need to win or lose that amount, simply put that amount into action.

For example, if you deposit $100 then we will give you a bonus of $100. The rollover is 10x the deposit plus bonus. Therefore $100 + $100 = $200. $200 x 10 = $2000.

That means you will need to put $2,000 in action before cashing out. The bets are cumulative, so the more you play, the sooner you will meet your rollover and be ready to cash out your winnings!
